Exclusives are what makes a console sell not third parties. And the 360 had way better Japanese support.

Also there are 35 million Game Pass subscribers, which is more than the number of Series consoles sold. So quite a big percentage of Xbox players won't buy the game if released.

Yes

I'm sure it sounds good in your brain and it rejects any other situation..... but sorry, in the reality, thinking something like that is a joke and an example of ignorance of reality, numbers, games catalog, etc (in your case, and seeing your argument I think it's something else entirely )

I would if I could but retail stores sure don't want me to get them offline anymore.

Retail?

Nobody buys games even from the Xbox Digital store, and you expect brick and mortar stores to carry their games stored on discs?

LOL
